Biden Stands Firm in Support of Israel Amid Growing Pressure Over Gaza Crisis
-
Biden expressed strong support for Israel's response after Hamas' attacks killed 900+ in Israel and took 100+ hostages. He ordered military support for Israel.
-
Some Democrats are calling for Biden to urge Israel to scale back its counterattacks if Palestinian civilian deaths rise. Others back Israel's robust response.
-
Republicans accuse Biden of not doing enough to support Israel and want total destruction of Hamas. Some see attacks as Israel's "9/11."
-
With midterms and 2024 looming, crisis tests Biden's foreign policy record. Trump argues attacks wouldn't have happened if he was president.
-
As Gaza casualties potentially rise, Biden may face pressure from progressives to get Israel to moderate attacks. His resolve to back Israel unconditionally may be tested.
